Methodist Sugar Land or Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Birthing centers?

Hello my name is Jennifer and me and my husband are expecting our third baby in February 2013 and I wanted to know what your opinions are on Methodist Sugar Land birthing center and Memorial Hermann Sugar Land birthing center, my OB recommends Memorial Hermann Sugar Land but I am thinking I will deliver at Methodist Sugar Land. Does anyone have any experiences at these hospitals? Thanks!

I toured both hospitals for my first pregnancy and I went with memorial sugarland. I think it's better hands down. It's a newer hospital so I liked that. The birthing center at Methodist is in the old original building which is in need of remodel. I felt more comfortable like I was at a nice hotel at memorial. Also the corner rooms which I had, are HUGE and they even have jaccuzzi tubs inside. Also the food was great! At memorial your entire stay is in the same room, at Methodist and some other hospitals you give birth in one room and then go recover in another, I liked that I wasn't moved around at all. I'm due in feb 2013 and I'm surely going with memorial sugarland again

My experience is only with Memorial Hermann sugar land- if you want a room with a jacuzzi, be sure to request it or else your room will just have a spigot poking out of the wall right next to the toilet. If you are interested in having a natural childbirth, be sure to request nurses who LIKE working with moms who are planning a natural birth. Some of them have a bad attitude about it. If not, then you're probably fine. They were perfectly pleasant with moms once they have an epidural.Also, be sure to interview the anesthesia department at both hospitals (if you're planning that) to see how long it would take for them to administer it once requested, b/c you're not going to want to wait over an hour like one of the poor moms I worked with. Hopefully both hospitals have someone 24/7.Now if you're interested in having your placenta encapsulated, Memorial Hermann will release it with no problem. Last I heard, Methodist doesn't release them.It really depends on the kind of birth you want. Because I am a natural birth advocate, it makes me nervous to see tons of technology displayed in the delivery rooms, because they like to USE it. I have been a patient at Methodist Sugar Land for other reasons, and I was very impressed with the care I received. I even asked the nurse who was wheeling me out all about the L & D floor. She didn't know so she got brochures and what not for me which she totally didn't have to do.
